With the return of the Sponge -- dare we call it a holiday miracle? -- the spirit of the season finally descended, blessing us one and all. Having absorbed more than it's share of seasonal cheer, and sporting an infectious holiday ensemble, the curious reappearance our beloved Sponge truly lightened and brightened our day. All is now and finally well. Also, for those who care, there were no visible scars or bruises from its traumatic, near Spongenapping experience. The Sponge's elasticity and resilience are an inspiration to us all.

I, E. Callahan, had the privilege of taking the sponge home for the weekend. Having been busy all week, I did not have time to return the sponge as soon as I thought. But don't worry, Edweena is safe and sound. She's okay. Thanks for reading this post, and don't accuse me of being a spongenapper.

The Sponge, after being invited to the "Snowball" dance, failed to return after its weekend adventure. Strangely, in fact, sources confirm that the Sponge made no appearance at the dance. As of Tuesday morning, there has been no reliable news. What are we to think? Is it too early to suspect foul play? Was the Sponge simply (tragically) misplaced, lost, left behind to fend for itself? The horror! Whatever the reason, whatever the Sponge might (or might not) have done, whoever has it, know this: We just want our little brainless, appendageless, and harmless pet back! Sponge come home!

Over Thanksgiving break, I, Mary invited the sponge to join my family and me for those few days in Lousville, Kentucky. The sponge experienced some once in a lifetime oppurtunities such as being able to visit all my loud cousins. That might not be life changing in a good way though because they are all quite loud and might have caused the sponge to go deaf.

In an amazing display of determination, the Sponge -- to the best of its ability -- managed to complete all of the following snow rituals. Sure it was difficult for the Sponge to carry a tune, throw something, and count to five (not to mention the challenge with the pajamas!); however, given the surprising snowfall on Saturday, can anyone doubt the Sponge's success?

1. Flush ice cubes down the toilet.
2. Freeze a metal spoon and sleep with it (either under the mattress or under your pillow). Apparently, this also works with a white crayon.
3. Wear pajamas (or undergarments) inside out (possibly backwards). For added snow making effect , sleep at opposite ends of your bed, with your head where your feet are supposed to be.
4. Run around the dining room table five times (clockwise) but backwards. (Make sure you survive this.)
5. Sing “Let It Snow” with enthusiasm until someone tells you to stop, or play “White Christmas” ten times in a row (or until someone tells you to stop).
6. Throw exactly five ice cubes into a tree.
7. Put pennies on your room’s window sill (heads up).
8. Yell “Snow Day” into the freezer (just once).
9. Do the “snow dance” and "snow chant" (very similar to “rain dance” and "rain chant").

Is Sophie the sponge? The answer is NO. Sophie Duke just happens to be a middle school scholar. . . specifically Eleanor (preferably Ellie). But why Sophie? Is it only a cheesy pseudonym? I'll tell you the story behind this false title......
